Hotel Noris

Comarca de Guna Yala


In ‘downtown’ Yandup (Narganá), this two-story shocking-pink concrete hotel will do if you find yourself stuck waiting for a flight. Spotless clean, it has eight rooms, five of which are air-conditioned. (Consider them the best few extra bucks you ever spent.) Fan-cooled rooms 7 and 8 look to the sea. Find the affable owner, Paco, at the pier.
